Denise Welch says snogging Corrie co-star was like 'kissing a cat's bum'

Denise Welch has opened up about the worst kiss of her life and revealed it took place on the set of Coronation Street.

The soap star appeared on Tuesday's Loose Women panel alongside Charlene White, Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter when the conversation soon turned to kissing.

Charlene revealed that a new survey claims that accountants have been voted as the best kissers, and the panel soon started talking about their own intimate experiences.

Denise, 64, then said: "I've only ever really had one bad kiss experience, but it was a fictitious kiss experience.

"I was in Corrie and Natalie had to steal Kevin Webster, the most happily married man away, and I had to say to Michael [Le Vell], 'we can't do anything really sexy because it's pre-watershed, so you've gotta kiss me like you really, really want to kiss me so that we convince the audience that this is the most passionate affair that makes you leave Sally'."

She then added: Well he was quite shy so I used to say, 'you've gotta put your hand behind....' and it was like..." as she mimicked Michael's mouth.

"It was really difficult, it was a bit like a sort of cat's bum sort of shape," she continued, before saying: "Sorry Michael because I love you, but it was a bit like kissing a cat's bum, I gotta say!" which left her Loose Women co-stars in hysterics.

Denise played the role of Natalie Barnes in Coronation Street from 1997 until 2000.

Shortly after her arrival on the Cobbles, Natalie began a relationship with the very married, and much younger Kevin.

She seduced him and convinced him that she wanted nothing other than an affair - no strings attached.

Kevin, lonely at home as his wife Sally was in Scarborough nursing her ill mother Elsie, decided to take a chance and they began an affair.

After a period of time, Natalie decided that she wanted Kevin full-time because she had fallen in love with him.

She convinced him that he was unhappy in his marriage and that he should leave and move in with her, which he did.

However, it all ended in tears for Natalie as Kevin came to his senses as he missed his family. He left Natalie and returned to Sally and his children, leaving Natalie devastated.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
